Thread: reloading .270 with 140g nosler balistic tip

Hi all, I have just started reloading for my tikka t3 .270. I have been using nosler 140g balistic tip projectiles and imr4831 powder.
I'm happy with the results so far. I was wondering if anyone else had been loading the same projectiles for .270 and what results they had and any advice etc.

Cheers'n'beers,
Max

Yes yes and yes

Dynamite on anchoring big Ruahine Redskins at distance

Used 2209 in my tikka with the 140abs. Over adi max but no pressure with norma brass. Was getting 2990 from memory. Super accurate too

Few fallow and reds in close and a sika at 430. All sat down except the red who moved about 20m

I get good results using AR2213/H4831 with the 130grn version.

Gday Max, good choice of caliber, and the 140's are a good all round load for the 270, allthough I prefer 150 LRAB or 150 VLD. I had a load going using 140 interlocks in front of 2213sc, quite an impressive projectile, I need to find my old notebook but from memory I had them going around 2900fps from a 20" T3

Have been loading 140 SST with 2213 sc getting 2950fps out of a savage and 1.5 inches at 200m

great feed back! Thanks everyone. I'd love to see a few recipes.

I'll pm what's in my book tonight. If I haven't burnt those 270 pages that is

Yep. 140gr accubond with 2209. In Rem XCR. Works well on Tahr out past 500m.

RE 22 @58 gas behind a 140 balistic tip gives a bit over 2900 fps in my 700 with good accuracy.

Loading a mates with 110 TTSX Barnes and 2213sc. Slaying them. Really happy. Had loaded up 130 TSX but this is his new super load.

I had great results with 140gr ABs and 140gr SSTs same POI.

ADI 2213sc 57 gr @ 2850fps in a 21" barrel
Win brass
Fed primers

I only run 150gr LRABs now as it has better long range performance.

@Gibo would you mind sending me a Pm with your notes, I picked up a new to me .270 stainless fluted Tikka Hunter. I tried some initial loads 49-53 gn 2209 and 140gn SST's. I got great group with 53gn and no pressure with Rem brass.

140 sst's 56 grn AR 2213 2785 fps sub MOA

53 gr of 2209 turned out to be the ducks nutz in my T3 and my mates A-bolt. Went up to 55 gr, without any pressure signs out of Remington and Hornady brass, but it boots a bit much for me. His old man just gave him 2kg! of IMR 4831 so gonna go back to the beggining and start all over again.
